Hello Gene, I'll take a look at those videos in a few hours.  I am grateful like I said a while ago I am glad to be part of this group, I want to get even better because I want a job in this field and I will do anything (within reason) to get into it.  I appreciate EVERYONES help here I'm not out to flame anyone on this group, or who work for Softimage etc, I just want to learn you don't know how much I apprecaite when I get help to a problem.  So I know sometimes people like Kim get upset at me at first but he tends to still (unless i'm wrong) courious as to what I want to do or what i'm stuck on.  Some of you may like me so of you may not like me I can live with this.

Hi Christopher,


Ok ok ok why is this still going on haha, here's how to scale to a global axis. Global is easy because the axis manipulator is already perfectly lined up.

And to the local axis.

And the codec.

Also, I highly recommend listening to Kim. It's damn good advice. Nobody here wants to pick on you, it's just that some of your questions are easily solved by just tearing into the matter or reading the manual. Very basic stuff, and not to mention this list is full of professionals pushing the software to it's limit. What people don't like is when someone asks a question that gives them the impression that they didn't even try at all and are looking for someone else to do the work for them. The lazy mans question. 


That said, be gratefull for the amount of knowledge at your finger tips. Most of us didn't have any of what you have to learn this stuff. If we found a book or a source of information back in the day... we read that bastard with enthusiasm because helpfull information was far and few between. Take this post for example. I, in a matter of 3 min, made a video tutorial and uploaded it for you specifically!!


Take care

Hello Bernard so no one knows how to pull this off ? I don't want to 

bring up another package that could do this but it could.  So there is

no way ? I tried the cutting polygons and pasting that won't make

polygons flat (and by flat I mean not saying "polygons are flat")
